Speaking in the House of Lords on 6 January 2026

Debate

Venezuela

Contribution

I am putting it in the form of a question. When one country, particularly a neighbouring country, perpetrates gross human rights errors on its people—for example, as Idi Amin did in Uganda— I put to the Minister: do we not have a duty to interfere? Are we not one human race? This Government are entirely right not to be preaching issues of international law but leaving the United States of America to explain or justify its own conduct.
